how to cook Minced Meat Stuffed Tomatoes?

STEP 1

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Give the tomatoes a good wash, and then carefully slice off the top of each tomato.

STEP 2

Next, gently remove the tomato pulp, making sure not to damage the vegetables.

TIPS: Wondering how to remove the core of tomatoes? You can either use a special knife designed for this purpose or simply scoop it out with a regular spoon.

STEP 3

Peel the onion and cut it into small cubes.

STEP 4

Take half of the tomato pulp and also cut it into cubes.

STEP 5

Do the same with the ricotta.

TIPS: If you can’t find ricotta, don’t worry! Feta can be used as a suitable substitute.

STEP 6

Give the parsley a thorough wash, dry it, and finely chop it.

TIPS: If you don’t have fresh parsley on hand, don’t worry! You can easily substitute it with dried parsley. While fresh parsley adds a vibrant touch, dried parsley still brings a pleasant herbaceous flavor to your dish. So, feel free to use whichever option suits your pantry.

STEP 7

Give the dill a thorough wash, dry it, and finely chop it.

TIPS: Fresh dill not available? No problem! You can add dried dill to the dish instead.

STEP 8

Now, heat up a frying pan over high heat and add a little vegetable oil. Toss in the chopped onion and fry it for about 5 minutes.

STEP 9

Once it’s nicely cooked, add the minced meat and continue cooking until it becomes crumbly. Then, add the tomato pulp to the mix.

TIPS: If you prefer a different type of minced meat, such as beef, pork, or chicken, feel free to use it instead of the mixed variety.

STEP 10

Transfer the filling to a large bowl and add the chopped ricotta and herbs. Season everything with salt and ground black pepper, and give it a good mix.

STEP 11

Grease a baking tray with oil and place the hollowed-out tomatoes in it.

STEP 12

Fill each tomato with the prepared filling.

STEP 13

To add a creamy touch, spread some sour cream on top of each stuffed tomato.

TIPS: When baking vegetables, you can give them a little extra flavor by greasing them with either natural yogurt or mayonnaise mixed with grated cheese.

STEP 14

Pour about 1/2 cup (125g) of water into the baking tray with the tomatoes. Pop it into the preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and let it bake for around 30-40 minutes.
